Pneumothorax Following Gastric Endoscopic Mucosal Resection

Abstract: An endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is used widely as an alternative treatment to a surgical resection for early gastric neoplastic lesions. Among the unusual complications of gastric EMR, perforation is usually manifested as a pneumoperitoneum. This paper reports a patient with a left-side pneumothorax without pneumoperitoneum as a complication of gastric EMR. The patient developed a left side pneumothorax after gastric EMR in the gastric fundus and recovered without further complications after conservative… Show more

“…Surgical treatment is still the main treatment for gastric cancer [5]. Meanwhile, endoscopic mucosal dissection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), laparotomy, or laparoscopic partial gastrectomy is feasible for early gastric cancer [6,7]. For advanced gastric cancer, if no distant metastasis is found, total gastrectomy and regional lymph node dissection are feasible.…”
